"We're basically the first computer company in decades." --- @bcantrill
Oxide just raised $445M at a $6B valuation.
@bcantrill and @sdtuck started @oxidecomputer to build the computers the hyperscalers keep for themselves. @EclipseVentures led the seed when nobody else would. now they're profitable, and he says they didn't even need to raise.
i also asked him if AI is a bubble, why america hates data centers, and why every oxide employee makes the same salary.
nontechnical, episode 4.
00:00 $445M at $6B, and they didn't need it

09:09 100% banked at SVB

22:52 "Marc Andreessen was offended"
23:05 NEA: "we will only invest in software"
25:55 "legends are dead"
28:32 "when a VC says 'I've got a technical question'"
42:39 the firm that walked away from a signed term sheet
46:48 "if I could get sequoia, do you think you'd be here?"
49:41 "they were cowards"
52:36 the nuke email he wrote and never sent
58:33 four years later, they asked for a reference
1:02:01 "politics and business don't mix"
1:10:51 is AI a bubble?
1:14:56 how he ruined a dinner party in 1997

Don't run AI agents on your laptop. Don't even run them in a public cloud. Run them on Oxide Computer Company and get the security of self-hosted infrastructure with the scalability of the public cloud.
